Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Broccoli, cut into small florets
• 1 cup Canned corn kernels, drained
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cans Canned tuna, drained and flaked
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets and corn kernels to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes to slightly tenderize the broccoli.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until the flour coats everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the milk and heavy cream. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender and the chowder has thickened.

Step 8

Stir in the flaked tuna, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Simmer for another 5 minutes to warm the tuna and blend the flavors.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot with bread or crackers on the side.
